Welcome to TeX.sx! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a "thank you" in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say "thank you" to users who helped you.

Keeping it concise is not a bad idea, of course. But I can't even vote the helpful answer up, lacking 15 "reputation".

Yes, but it won't be long until you will be able to, since you asked a good question with a perfect MWE. And you can always accept answers to your own questions afaik.

I'm normally using T1 encoding of course, but in this case I skipped the line as I thought that the example should be "as minimal as it gets". I would thank you, if I was allowed to do that or vote you up if i was able to - but alas, I don't have 15 reputation.

@NauC Without T1 the result is indeed very poor; OTOH, with T1 it doesn't seem bad.

With the first version of your code I thought that using T1 was just the preliminary step for the following (now commented) bits. I could swear that I tried it just with T1 before asking and the problem was still there, but obviously I didn't. That said, I think the version with just adding the package does the trick for me!

@NauC Remember to accept (clicking on the green check mark) the answer that better solves your problem. Please wait some time to see if some better answer comes along. This is how we reward people that help. Don't be afraid to ask again and, possibly, to answer. Welcome to TeX.SX.
